Filmed 11/06/15 The Coffeyville Curse almost struck again. Got word from Chris that I needed to get to Leeds in Kansas City, MO to get this locomotive. Even though I have seen and filmed it before, I've never gotten it leading in decent light. So I arrived around 3:15pm thinking there would be plenty of time for UP to run this one by. heh... yeah, right. A fly could fart in Africa, and it would cause UP to delay everything on this line, and his time was no different. Of course. The first train didn't show up till over an hour after I had gotten there, which is kinda odd, this line is normally busier than this. So, 4:20ish, the first train goes by. Then nothing. More nothing. And nothing some more. That fly must have farted. With the time change, I was already losing an hour of daylight, and where I was, the sun was in the perfect spot that afternoon/evening. 5:30 rolls around, the sun is going fast, and I'm getting mad. It should have been by long ago. 5:45pm, still nothing. The sun has reached the horizon, and literally at the last possible moment, I see a triangle of headlights on my rear view mirror. Fortunately, there was a small "dip" in the treeline that allowed for just enough direct sunlight that I needed before the line was overtaken by shadows. That's cutting it too close. But it all worked out and I finally got her in decent light. Take that Coffeyville Curse. Anyway, I'm hoping for a club video next, but as many problems as I've been having with videos lately, I ain't making no guarantees on anything. Even this one had issues getting made. So, we'll just have to wait and see. As usual, thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed it!
